Class 1 and 2 wrap with stats; Notre Dame up next

We're just over an hour away from the start of Class 3 pool play, which will of course include the Notre Dame Bulldogs.

I will of course be live-blogging during those games, but for now I want to put a bow, so to speak, on the pool play from Classes 1 and 2.

Scott City will face Hermann is the Class 2 final for a second consecutive year, while Lesterville will face Winona for the Class 1 title.

I got a chance to talk to Scott City coach Haley Jennings and a few players before the left Municipal Auditorium here in Kansas City, so I'll share their thoughts a little later tonight. The Rams were 4-2 in pool play but dropped both games to Hermann, which swept Scott City in two meetings at the final four a year ago.

The consensus seemed to be that the Rams allowed themselves to be intimidated by Hermann early on, resorting to tipping when they should have been swinging and getting frustrated by the Bearcats' variety. They say they've got that out of their system now.

Lesterville finished pool play 5-1. Winona was the only team to get a game off Lesterville in pool play.
